Ok, I'm a SkyWest pilot too and I don't like the smell of this TA. But geez, I'm getting so tired of the phrase 'lowering the bar'. Quit comparing us to Mesa and CHQ.
HeavySet...even if this thing passes, there isn't a paycut for the 50 seaters like at Mesa or Air Wisconsin. How is that called 'lowering the bar'? Ok, so some guys might have to fly 70 seaters for six months or so while a new agreement is negotiated. IF it passes. At least I'm trying to look at the pros and cons here. I actually agree with General Lee...something needs to be in writing about what happens after the 18 months.
Another thing, HeavySet....what's your take on my previous example of AWA and UPS crews flying at the same rates fleetwide? Are they 'lowering the bar' for the majors? Maybe it's comparing apples to oranges, but it seems like the same basic principle as this proposal. A 747 capt makes the same as a 727 capt...are you bashing those guys too? If not, then leave the SkyWest guys alone and go find someone else to harass.
